Kendall Jenner made headlines at the 2024 Met Gala by donning a breathtaking archival piece from Alexander McQueen’s tenure at Givenchy. The model, known for her impeccable taste in vintage fashion, chose a never-before-worn ensemble from McQueen’s fall 1999 haute couture collection.
Jenner’s stylist, Dani Michelle, revealed that they delved deep into Givenchy’s private archives to find the perfect look. The dress, which had never graced the runway and had been preserved for over two decades, was a stunning floor-length creation adorned with over 100,000 beads and sequins, meticulously hand-embroidered over 500 hours.
The Met Gala theme, “Sleeping Beauties,” provided the perfect backdrop for Jenner’s vintage choice. Embracing the exhibition’s exploration of clothing that has been dormant, Jenner saw an opportunity to showcase her love for archival fashion while making a statement on the red carpet.
The structured gown wasn’t Jenner’s only nod to McQueen’s legacy at the House of Givenchy. For the after-parties, she changed into another vintage piece from 1997, highlighting the timeless elegance of McQueen’s designs.
With custom Studio Amelia shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry completing her look, Jenner’s 10th Met Gala appearance marked a milestone in her fashion journey, solidifying her status as a style icon with a penchant for vintage glamour.
